Parks in Sölvesborg

Beskrivning

In Sölvesborg you can stroll around and enjoy beautiful surroundings wherever you go.

Arielparken
Sit down on a bench in Arielparken next to Hästtorget.

Biblioteksparken
Behind the library are the remains of an old private garden. Many fruit trees together with early summer flowering shrubs make this park most beautiful at the end of May. The green-white bulbous evening primrose, Ornithogalum nutans, seeds in the flowerbeds.

Grodparken
North of Hästtorget is the newly renovated Grodparken. The name of the park comes from the artwork with jumping frogs that stands in the small pond in the middle of the park. Here you can seek shade under the globe maples, Acer platanoides Globosum and listen to the cooling sound of the water. If you want to enjoy the sun, you can sit at the other end of the park where small loquat trees form a screen against Södergatan.

Havsparken
In Sölvesborg's Innerhamn, right next to Sölvesborgsbron, lies Havsparken, which brings to mind peace, relaxation and beautiful nature with flowering flower beds, open spaces for socializing and resting, and new seating areas along the walkways. During the darker months of the year, there is also increased lighting for a safer environment.

Klosterplan
This small park gets its character from the exclusive trees. Here grow Magnolia x soulangeana, magnolia magnolia, Magnolia kobus, Japanese magnolia, Prunus x serrulata Kanzan, Japanese cherry and true chestnut, Castanea sativa. Both the leaves and fruits of the true chestnut look lovely when they have fallen to the ground.

Rådhusparken
Tokyo cherry trees frame this park together with false acacia, Robinia pseudoacacia. In the walled-up tubs there is, among other things, lace cap, Tiarella cordifolia. The flowers form patterns like the most beautiful Brussels sprouts. "Torso", a statue by Folke Truedsson, is located in the southeast corner of the park.

Slottsparken
On the hill of the castle ruins you have a beautiful view of the city. Sölvesborgsviken, unique for its seabirds, surrounds one of the country's most beautiful places for outdoor concerts. In the small rose garden there are some old-fashioned roses. Signs show which varieties they are.
Many solitary oak and beech trees stand in the rolling lawn, which in spring offers lots of small bulbous plants.

The municipality's parks, playgrounds and forests are managed by the municipality's parks unit.
